Took them too long to introduce some features and the lack of balance for new, non-hardcore users is heavy these days. I do think the game will be around for a long time though as they are evolving. It's just that they could have retained more people if they were faster and listened to their players a bit more.

I played it until about a month ago. I moved and there's no stops or local park for me to drive by on my way to work or anywhere close by to walk to. I had mainly just been playing to and from work at my old house to keep slowly leveling. I made it to lev 31. It's now uninstalled.

That you are not seeing large groups roving around is more a factor of the player community evolving. Players have learned that the rare finds in game are just rare. They know where they need to be for rewarding play(ie areas dense in Pokestops, gyms and cellular activity ). They are also organizing using Discord or Facebook.
